What Are Dental Fillings?

Dental fillings are restorative materials used to repair teeth affected by cavities or minor fractures. Fillings stop the progression of decay, restore your tooth’s structure, and protect it from further damage.

At Comprehensive Dental Care, we use composite resin fillings that are safe, durable, and designed to match your natural tooth color. The process is quick, comfortable, and highly effective at restoring function and preventing future complications.

How It Works:

  • The decayed portion of the tooth is removed
  • The area is thoroughly cleaned and prepped
  • Composite resin is applied in layers and shaped to fit your bite
  • A special curing light hardens the material
  • The final result is polished for a smooth, natural finish

Why Choose Dental Fillings?

Dental fillings are one of the most common and important treatments in modern dentistry. Here are some of the key benefits:

Do You Need a Dental Filling?

You may need a filling if you’re experiencing:

  • Tooth sensitivity to hot, cold, or sweets
  • Visible holes or dark spots on your teeth
  • Tooth pain or discomfort when chewing
  • Chipped or worn teeth

The earlier cavities are detected, the easier they are to treat. If you notice any of these signs or are due for a checkup, don’t wait. Our experienced team will evaluate your smile and recommend the best course of treatment.

FAQs About Dental Fillings

Dental Q&A Accordion
Most patients report little to no pain during the filling procedure. We use local anesthesia to numb the area, ensuring a comfortable experience. You may feel mild pressure, but it should not be painful.
If a cavity is still in the early stage of enamel erosion, fluoride treatments and improved oral hygiene may help reverse it. However, once a cavity forms, a filling is the only effective treatment.
Most fillings can be completed in a single appointment lasting about 30 to 60 minutes, depending on the size and location of the cavity.
Common types include composite (tooth-colored) fillings, amalgam (silver) fillings, gold fillings, and ceramic or porcelain inlays. We primarily use composite fillings for their durability and natural appearance.
Composite fillings are made from a mixture of plastic resin and fine glass particles. Other types of fillings may be made from metals like silver or gold, or ceramic materials depending on your needs and preferences.
